Asante and torp play we win that, simple, you can see what we’re missing, we’ve stopped pressing teams, Asante was setting the press from the front, teams have got too much time against us, they just play through us, there’s gaps everywhere
It’s the big difference. Teams have been trying to catch our high line for ages, but it’s become gradually more difficult to break teams down as we progress the ball more slowly.

This…and the shift in tempo corresponds to Rudoni’s reintroduction to the team.
Our early season form was due to incisive, one-touch passing and pace. We’d swarm the opposition, and the bombardment created gaps and goals. It was almost impossible to defend against.
Now we’re slowing the play and trying to pass it through the lines. Teams counter that easily with a low block.

I said in the match thread that I think there’s something in him having a shoulder issue.
There was a rumour he needed an op and it was do it immediately and he’d miss most of the season or manage it and have the op towards the summer.
I think that seems to ring true and we’ve risked it to have him available now because we don’t have a big enough squad to miss our only number 10.
Problem is he’s now playing completely within himself as he doesn’t want to aggravate it more. People can say that it’s got nothing to do with him playing the ball out under no pressure but when a football isn’t fully committed then they end up playing inside themselves.
Yes a couple of decent signings and players fit again, we're back on track.
I have faith in FL and his team. They have some time to sort things out now
